This appears to have broken the cross-build jobs on GitHub for the past week
which build with clang 15 and clang 18.  Are those versions too old to support
the instructions used here?

Sample output:

*** [exception.o] Error code 1

(Or maybe clang needs some -m<foo> or .set <foo> to enable use of these instructions?)
